Emanation of the DIVINE

The entire cosmos is an emanation of the Divine

All living creatures arise out of the body of Purusha, the Primeval Man or Primordial reality, the essence of the Divine or The Purusha.

‘Let the wealthier person be generous to the applicant,

Let him take a longer view;
for life rolls on like the wheels of a chariot,
wealth now comes to one, now to another.
…he who eats alone verily eats nothing but a sin.’ (RV.X.117.5-6)

No man or woman is an isolated island; and it is in the context of the world around that our life has any meaning.

What I find interesting here is the fact that ALL RELIGIONS and/or PHILOSOPHIES have at their foundation A CREATOR of the HEAVENS and MANKIND and espouse the idea that MANKIND MUST be kind and generous to each other and if we don't, then we are committing a SIN...

The SIN that we are committing is not necessarily against our CREATOR although some of us do actually believe that it the case, but against the UNIVERSE or the TRUTH of the UNIVERSE which is equally as powerful.

GOD or our CREATOR is not just a single entity but the ENTIRE UNIVERSE...  the sum total of everything and there is a COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS that binds us all together either through our PRAYERS or through our MEDITATIONS and especially through our actions...

Many of us have not yet come to that COSMIC TRUTH and/or UNDERSTANDING...

The VEDAS and the Pursuit of TRUTH

The Vedas are a large body of religious texts originating in ancient India. Composed in Vedic Sanskrit, the texts constitute the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of Hinduism.

There are four Vedas: the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda. Each Veda has four subdivisions – the Samhitas (mantras and benedictions), the Aranyakas (text on rituals, ceremonies, sacrifices and symbolic-sacrifices), the Brahmanas (commentaries on rituals, ceremonies and sacrifices), and the Upanishads (texts discussing meditation, philosophy and spiritual knowledge). Some scholars add a fifth category – the Upasanas (worship). 

The Vedas have been orally transmitted since the 2nd millennium BCE with the help of elaborate mnemonic techniques. The mantras, the oldest part of the Vedas, are recited in the modern age for their phonology rather than the semantics, and are considered to be "primordial rhythms of creation", preceding the forms to which they refer. By reciting them the cosmos is regenerated, "by enlivening and nourishing the forms of creation at their base."  SOURCE:  Wikipedia

The Vedas teach us to pursue truth, to accept nothing but the Truth, which is one, though the wise describe it in various ways: ekam sat viprāh bahudhā vadanti. That Truth or sat is synonymous with being and becoming, with life and living in all its manifestations. Rita, the opposite of untruth (anrita), is the Cosmic Law that holds the entire creation together. Any transgression of Rita is punishable by Varuna, the dispenser of Divine Justice. Above both gods and humans, it provides the basis of karma that binds one to its consequence.

The countless forms of creation manifest the Truth or Reality of God or Brahman, which is variously imagined, described and named. But beneath and beyond all the names of gods and goddesses, ‘great is the single godhood of all the devas’.
